Luke Hubbard grew up in Dallas Center, Iowa and currently lives in Ankeny, Iowa. He is a graduate of the University of Northern Iowa.

About the artist's work:"When [Luke is] painting, he seeks balance in color, shape, and lines. He'll work (and rework) some canvases over and over again until he's sure the feeling is right for the moment. In those bursts, when everything seems to flow, the paints have minds of their own, guiding Luke, instead of the other way around.

When the act of creation seems like a direct connection to a deep emotional well, when the brushes seem to be the ones in control, that's when Luke is happiest in his work."
